I am a very happy owner of the Ayre. It replaced significantly more expensive separates (Modwwright KWA-150SE w/Cary SLP-05 w/ult. upgrade) and yet I greatly prefer its sq. Dead quiet with full rich sound. I am sure the Pass is great as well, although I have always found Pass to be slightly noisey and too hot. I would not buy w/o listening to both.
Integrated Amps - Ayre vs Pass Labs
Hey all,
In the very preliminary stages of starting a two-channel system from the ground up. I’d like to go with an integrated to save on space. No phono stage necessary at this point. I’m open to an incorporated DAC but it’s not a must have. Speakers, sources, etc. TBD.
Has anyone had experience hearing Pass’ INT-250 against Ayre’s AX-5 Twenty?
Thanks for reading,
CJ
